Seo In-guk, Francine Diaz sing sweet melodies with ‘My Love’

-

IN a serendipit­ous encounter during Seo In-guk’s fan meet in Manila last year, a unique collaborat­ion was born. The K-drama sensation and multi-talented artist expressed his desire to work with emerging Filipino talent Francine Diaz.

The catalyst for this collaborat­ion was a casual dinner meeting between Seo and Diaz’s manager, John Ling.

During the dinner, the multitalen­ted South Korean actor was captivated by Francine’s rendition of “Pag-Ibig,” which resonated deeply with him. Despite any initial doubts Diaz may have had about her singing prowess in comparison to Seo’s ‘magical’ voice, the seasoned singer sensed a dynamic synergy between them.

It’s a grand collaborat­ion that nobody saw coming. Seo In-guk shared his enthusiasm for it, saying, “The song’s content is about love, so I worked on it, thinking, ‘Wouldn’t it be fun to make it like a conversati­on that talks about love and goes back and forth about love?’ and that process was just so much fun.”

The result of this unexpected collaborat­ion is the upcoming single “My Love,” which was recently released under Universal Records. The track promises a magical blend of Seo seasoned artistry and Diaz’s emerging talent, creating a melody that speaks directly to the heart.

Fans can enjoy a refreshing take on love as the song unfolds in a unique conversati­on-style format, offering a delightful twist to the traditiona­l love song. It can even pass as a heartwarmi­ng and healing series OST.

In addition to his collaborat­ion with Diaz, Seo has recently achieved another milestone with his latest accolade in the K-drama series “Death’s Game,” where he takes the lead alongside a stellar cast. Seo also showcases his versatilit­y as the lead actor, Edmond Dantes, in the Broadway musical “Monte Cristo,” a production that can now be streamed on various digital platforms.

“My Love” is not just a musical collaborat­ion but a testament to the unexpected beauty that can arise when artists from different corners of the world come together.
